He writes reviews, technical articles, and how-to guides about photography. It’s geared toward users of DSLRs, especially Nikon and Canon. Occasionally, he ventures off-topic, and he recently wrote an article called “How to Afford Anything.” He covers tips on how to score deals, save money, and make money.

He said, “I’ve never felt more like Jesus before! We were walking on water out there!”

So he told us he was going to enjoy playing in the water while he still could. About 30 minutes later, he came back in with his clothes totally drenched. Apparently they went to see if the pool was flooded like the rest of the complex. And they ended up jumping into the pool fully clothed. It made a big impression on him. He said it was quite exhilarating!

It reminds me that one can always find the magic in a moment. I was so proud that he chose to see the potential of the situation rather than being mad about the rain.
